Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5313879, member: 12253"] if i understand correctly, the 200M/250M isnt a "gift" to the conference; it's an advertisement package. right? If i got that right, then, who KNOWS what the terms of that money were.... "the Big 12 Conference brought to you by FedEx" "FedEx Big 12 Championship Game" "Fedex Field at Univ of Memphis, a Big 12 Institution" "FedEx" logos plastered all over the place at all B12 FB/BB games and in the bball tournament not seeing people talk about that aspect, which makes the money way less attractive... I'm assuming that the Big 12 has no interest in tying its pockets and contractual obligations that hard to a city like Memphis, which beside some near-term cash, does nothing to elevate the profiles of its current member schools. I think that aspect makes the rejection way less embarassing to the univ of Memphis. or maybe it's even more embarassing. idk. [/QUOTE]
